YE OLDE TRIP TO JERUSALEM REVIEWS

The Pub's description as an "Ancient pub built into stone caves with a charming, wonky interior & resident ghosts, plus food" intrigued us immediately. We simply had to experience this unique setting with resident ghosts for ourselves. After securing reservations for a party of 5 on 7/3/24 at 12pm, we were promptly seated in the enchanting stone cave interior. The cozy rooms, though not overly spacious, were spread out across multiple floors, adding to the pub's mysterious charm. I finally got to try a traditional meat pie here, and it was absolutely delicious! The cider selection was top-notch as well. If you're in the area, this pub is a definite must-visit for a memorable lunch or dinner experience.

An interesting experience. Advertised as one of the oldest pubs in the UK and built into the caves underneath Nottingham Castle. Food is excellent.....was genuinely surprised at the quality. The interior is very different from normal pubs and includes wonky floors, sandstone walls and a few cobwebs which all add to the experience.

Great pub, love the history here. Nice variety of beers on cask, and the food has always been really good and at a reasonable price. I've had a burger here before, as well as steak ciabatta, both lovely and others in the group had the chicken sharer which was huge and great value for money. Can get VERY busy and due to the nature of the pub it has very little room to move around, I recommend you get here early or go on a weekday if you want time to explore the inside of the pub.

PITCHER & PIANO REVIEWS

I visited Nottingham and booked a restaurant through their website, which was very easy to use. I went on a Thursday, so it wasn't too crowded. The exterior of the restaurant looked impressive, and I got a seat inside. The interior was spacious and beautifully decorated. The receptionist named Tee showed me to my table and provided excellent service. I ordered a cocktail made by Macey, which tasted great. I was quite impressed and would love to come back on a busier day.

This is such a beautiful location for dinner! It’s a converted church and they’ve left the stained glass and other original features in place. Scarlett did a wonderful job of taking care of me for dinner tonight. She was friendly and helpful, as well. In fact everyone here tonight has been friendly! Thanks for a relaxing evening in Nottingham.

Staff were really lovely, the food was absolutely delicious. The aesthetic is absolutely beautiful, and I’m glad they found a new use for the church. Abigail was really helpful with our order, the cocktails are delicious too.

PIT & PENDULUM REVIEWS

Just popped in for a quick drink. From Liverpool and 1st time in Nottingham. Amazing atmosphere and lovely staff. Me and the missus loved it. Can't imagine dealing with the bookcase to get to the loo when I've had a few though.

This is a really cool place to hang out. Food was delicious and the staff are really friendly and kind. Ryan who served me made me feel very welcome. It’s a really nice place for the alternative crowd. I will definitely be coming back.

Any time I visit a new city, I look for quirky and funny names of bars. This popped up on Google Maps and I have got to say, this is an amazing place. It's gothic theme, the aptly named cocktails only just skirt the authenticity of the place. The downstairs area is brilliant.
